    Yep, I just decided that once I reach my mini goal of 10 lbs lost, I'm going to reward myself with a trip to a GOOD salon to get a haircut for this messy curly hair of mine. I'm tired of going to cheap salons where no one knows how to cut curly hair and I'm tired of looking at the nice salons and telling myself that I can't afford them. (Any of you ladies out there feel me?)

    Well, maybe they ARE over-priced, but I'm going to splurge in approximately 7 lbs and I'm going to go for it. What better occasion to spend a little extra than after losing 10 lbs? YAY. I'm so pumped!

    So, I wanna know---how have YOU all rewarded yourself after reaching a mini-goal or overall goal?

      Oh, Coach! Another store I can't afford...but maybe I'll make that a reward for another mini-goal. :) Good luck!

      At 20 lbs I am getting a tanning package. At 40 lbs I plan on doing what you are, with a cut and color at a GOOD salon, 80 lbs a massage, and 100 lbs I am buying a kindle fire. I really want all of those things. LOL. I list my mini goals in my profile.

      I did not have a list to begin with but I am making one. I am finally down 25 lbs and I want to reward myself but no idea what. I have 40 more to go. 20 more until I'm at pre-pregnancy weight. :D Some good ideas here. :) I do have a final goal reward: to go on a shopping spree to Victoria's Secret to buy under clothes that make ME feel sexy! Of course the husband will benefit too I suppose.

      Congrats on reaching your mini goal. That's great! :)

      At my 30 pound loss mark I bought myself a pair of diamond studs! Need to reward myself at 40 pounds but just not sure yet of what my little heart desires!

      Yep... during my loss journey (45 pounds) I got a massage every 5 pounds. Now that i'm on maintenance I reward myself with sports massages when I feel that I've earned it with training hard. (whether it be a race, speed training intervals, etc.) I feel that I need to reward my body now instead of just me because I put my body to the test with training.
      Definitely reward yourself!! Hey we learned in school that rewards work! Just like my dogs still expect treats for doing everything they are SUPPOSED to do :-)

      When I reach my goal weight I have a huge trip to Vegas planned but after reading this I need to come up with some smaller goals to keep me motivated.

      After I finish C25K I'm going to Lululemon and buying myself a few new sports bras and some cute workout headbands to keep my crazy hair under control!

      When I reach my goal weight I'm sooo gonna quit smokin' and drinkin'. :bigsmile:
      :ohwell: Sorry that's a private sarcastic joke for someone I know. lol

      Seriously, I think I'll keep it simple and treat myself (and wife) to a trip to Cooperstown, NY to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. I've never been and it's on my bucket list anyways.

      No food rewards people.

      I've reached my first goal weight today! :D I don't know exactly what I'm going to do for it yet.

      But when I reach my UGW, I'm going to spend about $120 on clothes :D
